Fantasy Tip: Infante has really struggled the last year-and-a-half, but he should see playing time against left-handers in a platoon with Jace Peterson at some point. Infante is an NL-only depth option, but your expectations shouldn't be very high.

Fantasy Tip: Infante had been relegated to a bench role with the emergence of Whit Merrifield within the last month. The veteran second baseman was hitting .239 with no home runs and 11 RBI in 134 at-bats and had lost any minimal fantasy value he had in AL-only leagues. Infante could latch on with another team but is unlikely to have any value from here on out.

Fantasy Tip: Infante will likely start on the bench more often than not now with Merrifield around. The young outfielder is off to a fine start with 18 hits in his first 50 major league at-bats and has become an option for depth in cavernous mixed and AL-only leagues despite his lack of speed and power.

Fantasy Tip: Merrifield, who has 14 hits in 40 at-bats so far, has been seeing more playing time over Infante. Take note in your league if you're looking for depth in deep mixed and AL-only leagues. Eibner is also off to a nice start in his first taste of the majors with five hits (two doubles) in 11 at-bats and deserves some consideration for outfield depth in AL-only universes. Neither is a very strong daily pick today against Smyly, but Merrifield has more upside in the two-hole.

Fantasy Tip: Merrifield has gone 9-for-24 with two RBI over the last seven days and should be a decent fantasy option in daily fantasy leagues. Infante has a hit in each of his last four games and has five RBI during that span. He should be a decent starting candidate in most fantasy leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Not much is going right for Morales this year. He's sporting an ugly .187/.247/.313 slash line with five home runs and 18 RBI and is expected to miss a few more days with his injury. Keep him benched where you own him until he shows signs of life and returns from injury. Both Merrifield and Eibner are worth looks in AL-only leagues for depth. They should both see decent playing time with Alex Gordon and Kendrys Morales hurt right now.

Fantasy Tip: That's now two straight games Morales has sat out while posting an ugly slash line of .187/.247/.313 with five home runs and 18 RBI. If you own him in deep mixed and AL-only leagues bench him until he shows signs of life. You can consider cutting him in shallow leagues. Merrifield and Eibner could both see decent playing time with the injuries to Mike Moustakas (knee) and Alex Gordon (wrist), so consider adding them for depth in AL leagues for now.

Fantasy Tip: The right-handed Merrifield hit .278 with five home runs and 17 RBI at Class AAA Omaha earlier this year. He's never had double-digit home runs in the minors but does possess speed (32 thefts in 2015). Merrifield could create havoc on the basepaths at the top of the order tonight but doesn't project to fill up the stat sheet otherwise. He's a deep sleeper in daily games.
